DH, and my family and friends keep telling me to start an online baking busines. I think they're being very unrealistic. It isn't that easy, my kitchen is years old! I think baking as a hobby, for family is VERY different to selling it to the public.
The things we have:
A good amount of cupboard space,
Ingredients stored correctly, labelled and dated (I have a label pinter, so it is easy to update and label goods, list ingredients, etc).
A separate sink for hand-washing, would wear food handing gloves, apron etc.
A dishwasher.
Ability to create a website and business plan, and calculate profit etc.
Consistent go to receipes, and able to take good photos with props etc.
A firm idea of what I would want to sell, and how I want it to look, packaging I would use etc.
The things we don't have:
No room for a separate fridge freezer, so business things would need to be stored in a separate section of our American fridge freezer. We have a family of 4.
Our oven is old, and imo needs replaced.
Our kitchen cupboards are old, peeling, and doors would need replaced, or at the very least new coverings, and handles.
The bench is clean, but old and faded, faint scratches.
The flooring tiles are old, and there are grout grooved areas, so not a smooth floor that is perfectly flat. I clean this every day, but this particular kind of flooring doesn't seem suitable, imo.
I think unless we get a new kitchen installed (which finances will not allow), or move house this cannot happen.
The more they go on about it, the more upset it is making me. We don't have the facilities.
